Apricot Puree?

#1 Post by Swoosh » Sun Jun 14, 2009 6:17 pm

Does anyone know where I can pick up some Apricot puree in Lawrence?

I wanted to add it to my American Wheat.

Thanks,
Andrew C.

Don't know of anywhere in Lawrence. I buy mine on Amazon. 2 cans, $30 shipped with supersaver.

Rob Dewhirst used apricot in his wheat beer. I think he used "Oregon fruit puree" off the shelf at most grocery stores. PM me if you want me to put you in touch with him.

Not sure if HyVee has it or not, but the one by 23rd St Brewery had some sweet and sour cherry concentrate. It seems like they had other flavors too.
Just call me Andy!

FYI, most of the Oregon Fruit cans on the shelf at grocery stores are in heavy syrup and meant to be used as pie fillings. Oregon Fruit has a lot of different products. The amazon link I listed above is for their fruit puree used for wine base. It is seeded pureed fruit with no syrup added.
